Past Its Due Date

Last night as we were going to bed, I informed Jay that he was going to be “surprising” me with pancakes for breakfast in the morning. Yes, I had a strong hankering for pancakes at 12:30am, and the thought of having them for breakfast sounded just incredible.

Of course, I was only slightly kidding, as pancakes aren’t really his thing. However, when I went out to the kitchen, I found him actually attempting them for me. What a guy!

Unfortunately, the batter was a total fail. He used Bisquick as the base of his pancakes, which we’ve done before and they’re great, but our Bisquick was wayyyyy past its due date. Like, almost a year past…woops.

So we put a kibosh on the pancakes.

But then Jay went all Omelet Master on me (<—it’s so funny to compare our old and new kitchens in these two posts)

And we had some amazing omelets for breakfast!

While Jay got to work on the food, I sipped on my mug of coffee and got to work on some coupon clipping. Let me tell you, there was a crapload of awesome coupons today, and I’m pretty excited. You guys know I love my coupons.

About Courtney

I'm a working mom of two beautiful little boys, Lucas and Alex, and I began writing Sweet Tooth, Sweet Life in April 2010. I enjoy chronicling my love of food (healthy and indulgent!), baking, motherhood, fitness, fashion, and everything in between!

I used to coupon, and then I realized it’s cheaper to just buy the store brand stuff. I definitely keep things past their due date – particularly milk – as long as it smells ok, I’m keeping it.Lauren @ Chocolate, Cheese and Wine recently posted..WIAW – A Little Late to the Party!

Proof that men respond better to direct requests rather than hints :)- super sweet of him! I usually do the scent test- if it smells alright, I’ll eat it regardless of ‘expiry date’! I think this mentality comes from 14 years of living in Nigeria: most foods didn’t come with an expiry date so it was up to the consumer to decide whether it was edible or not!Khushboo recently posted..Week 1 recap

I should really start using coupons! I’m generally too lazy to clip them haha. You are so lucky to have such an awesome man…that’s so sweet that he attempted pancakes for you! Bahh, I can’t wait to see my boyfriend later this week :D…6 weeks without seeing him is a long time!Lindsay @ In Sweetness and In Health recently posted..October Goal

I’m pretty sure that Wednesday is the ONLY day of the week I don’t watch football during the season. THe husband is a football coach and he is usually sweet and we watch Modern Family instead of football on Wednesdays- how sweet of him! 😉
PS-I looked at that picture of the old vs. new kitchen and…….. you are one lucky girl that new kitchen is sooooooo beautiful!Julie H. of Spinach and Sprinkles recently posted..Deep Breath… Here it goes (part II)

I try to use most of our foods before the due date, but sometimes I’ll let them go a little after (like a week or two) if they don’t smell or taste funky. Depends on the product though. We watching football ALL day on Sundays and we’ll also be tuning into Game 2 of the NLDS tonight at 8:30pm (sparing the names for your brother, haha!). I’m a sometimes coupon clipper. It takes forever and I get impatient. Hah.Krissie J @ A Philly Nerd Girl recently posted..Feels Like Fall Weekend

I’m so jealous of that omelet, it looks so good! I’m showing this to my boyfriend later so maybe he’ll get the hint to start perfecting omelets now that he’s perfected making scrambled eggs 🙂Bianca @A Healthy Gourmet Lifestyle recently posted..Oh, the College Life

Love your kitchen! Those cabinets and countertop together are so beautiful.

I’m so bad about keeping things past their due date. I never even think about it with things that are in powder form (like Bisquick). I try to go through the cabinets at least once a year, but that doesn’t always work out.Rosa – Fitness Food Fulfilled recently posted..First Half Marathon Conquered!

I’m a stickler for following due dates even though my bf things most things are fine. I kind of freak out though and think anything past the due date should get tossed, even if it’s only a day haha.Katie @ Plates and Paste recently posted..Tampa Bay Hits a Homerun
